National Dance Day Is Coming!

Hey dancer girls, did you ever wish that there was a national holiday to honor your fave sport? Thanks to So You Think You Can Dance co-creator and judge, Nigel Lythgoe, and politician Eleanor Norton, an official act is before Congress. And if that's not cool enough, National Dance Day is proposed to be THIS SATURDAY, July 31! Dozens of cities across the country (like Chicago and Boston) are going to be embracing their inner superstars with events like a radio-sponsored dance party in Six Flags, Dallas and cool flash mob style dancing in D.C. and LA!

Lythgoe hopes that through making exercise fun and introducing a National Day to honor dance that it will help to lower the high rate of obesity in the United States. (He also hopes to break world records on Saturday - like the longest conga line in Miami!)
